Genders that are weird to you

[Mackened]

Are there any genders of Pokemon that make you think "are you serious?"
The one that immediately comes to mind if Machop/Machoke/Machamp. The fact there are females of them are so weird, haha. MACHO being the operative word that they are male Pokemon.

Male Gardevoir, female Poliwrath, female Charizard, female Geodude... There are many of them, but hey, we need some balance, right?

There's plenty of macho women.

Anyhow.

Yes, I do find it irritating that Pokemon with "king" in their name, Pokemon with mustaches and Pokemon that have masculine chests (like Machamp) can be female, but if there's a pink Pokemon it's at least got to be 75% female (Cleffa line, Skitty line, Chansey line, Snubbull line, Igglybuff line...)

Male Gardevoir, female Poliwrath, female Charizard, female Geodude... There are many of them, but hey, we need some balance, right?

I don't get any of those but Geodude because it has "dude" in it which can mean guy.

I agree with the Machop line, that it should definitely be male only...

Male Gardevoir, female Poliwrath, female Charizard, female Geodude... There are many of them, but hey, we need some balance, right?

I can understand Gardevoir but the rest are fine with both genders.
Pokemon like Mr. Mime & Seaking should be Male only and should have different female forms, it would make more sense that way... but then again, it would make things complicated wouldn't it? ...

Okay maybe I exaggerated with Poliwrath and Charizard, but maybe it's just me. I can't see them as females.

I know what you mean. Nintendo should put a little more effort into making differences between genders in design, not all Pokemon have gender differences which I think should be necessary for the sake of detail...

Well, since 4th gen games, they did some effort into making those differences. Female Pikachu/Raichu having different tail... for example...

I know, I said not ALL Pokemon have gender differences (in my last post). It would be a nice touch if they did but it's not completely necessary.

Skitty is another Pokemon that comes to mind, I can't see that Pokemon as a male. ...

This thread reminds me of a Pokemon episode where Meowth is trying to impress a supposedly 'female' Purrloin but at the end of the episode reveals that it's a male!

In that case, they would probably have to rename the Pokemon as well. Miss Mime and Seaqueen sounds good to me. {XD} Adding on to the topic, I've always found male Gardevoir and male Jynx a little funny.

What about male Lopunny? Lopunny looks like a feminine Pokémon in general, IMO.

 

[Sweets Witch]

Male Gothitelle, although the bigger issue to me is why some Pokemon even have genders. Geodude's line is a great example. They're sentient rocks, but they're able to mate and reproduce by laying eggs.

It never bothered me much, since Pokemon aren't humans, so wouldn't need to have sexes similar in appearance to our own. Look at the animals in nature, for example. The only difference between many of them are their sex organs.

There's no such thing as a male Jynx! haha :)

The whole Gothita line really. Another great example would be Vanillite! A male/female ice cream cone? :P

While that may be true for most animals, some do have major differences, such as lions. There are Pokemon within the game that need to have gender differences/forms but don't. There are plenty of examples that people have posted.

It would probably look more masculine with shorter ears and a more solid build? I can imagine Nintendo making interesting sprites with gender differences, but then again that's a whole lot of sprites to make up...

Miss Anne Thorpe, all happiny's, chansey's, and blissey's are female

 

[Ephemeral Euphoria]

If there was ever a male Jynx I would be irredeemably mortified. Besides from that though I always found female Conkeldurr to be rather offputting to put it lightly.

 

[Powerserge]

It makes me wonder if all non-baby Pokemon have their own developmental stages. If say Machop goes through it's own puberty and everything to reach sexual maturity independently of it's other evolutions. But I guess in a game such as this, it really would never be thought out in so much detail because of its target audience.

But jeez.......I didn't even think about a female Conkeldurr....bwahaha. Guess she just looks like a tough old lady.

 

[antemortem]

I feel like a male Jynx would just be... very awkward to see in person. That and ones that are obviously male-oriented, like Feraligatr, or the opposite, like Victreebel and Sunflora and, well, most Grass-types, haha.

 

[HereComesHeracross]

Mr. Mime is an obvious one, my little brother pointed it out to me yesterday and now it annoys me a bit {XD}

 

[Sandshrew4]

For some reason, a female Primape seems kinda strange to me.

 

[lmcde22]

Female Kricketune... Dat mustache! like wut?
